wife calling office:
W- Hi. Are you busy?
Me- Yeah, I got somebody here and a person on the other line holding.
W- I wanted to ask you something.
Me- I really busy now, can I call you back?
(What you should've said: OK, but I have to be quick because I've got the jail onthe other line and Mr. BigCustomer here.)
W- I was looking at the bedroom, what do you think of painting it (insert color).
Me- Honey, I have Mr. Bigcustomer here, and I need to wait on him and I've still got someone holding.
(What you should've said: Sounds good to me baby! I think the room would look good in (insert color) We'll go buy the paint tomorrow! OK, love you! Bye!)
~~End of conversation. Now, by the time you get home she's already changed her mind 7 times on the color and decided to paint 2 more rooms. She also wants to re-arrange furniture in 2 other rooms, and do new "window treatments". You then spend 20 minutes sowing a few seeds of doubt which results in an additional 3 weeks of her not being able to make a decision and when she thinks she's made a decision, you can usually repeat process 9 times out of 10. 
W- I was thinking about (insert color) but I'm not sure. What do you think?
Me- I think that if I don't get off the phone, he's going to get pissed and walk out, it's the jail on the other line, Please, letme call you back in a minute!
W- You never have the time to talk, don't bother!! ( slams phone down)
WHY? WHY!! What was it that you didn't hear me say!!!!
I'll never understand this.....
